Missouri quarterback Drew Lock poses with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell after the Denver Broncos selected Lock in the second round of the NFL football draft, Friday, April 26, 2019, in Nashville, Tenn.

The good times for Broncos offensive coordinator Rich Scangarello continued Friday night during the second round of the NFL draft.

For the first time under general manager John Elway, the Broncos used their first three picks on offensive players.

A night after selecting Iowa tight end Noah Fant in the first round, the Broncos went back-to-back at Nos. 41-42, choosing Kansas State offensive lineman Dalton Risner (a native of Wiggins) and Missouri quarterback Drew Lock.

After drafting Risner, the Broncos traded picks Nos. 52, 125 and 182 to Cincinnati to take Lock.

“You know my history was drafting defensive players,” Elway said. “(Offense) is the way the board fell and the way the draft set up for us this year.”

The revamping of the Broncos’ offense includes new starters in quarterback Joe Flacco, right tackle Ja’Wuan James, likely Risner (right guard) and Fant, plus a quarterback of the future (Lock).

In the third round, the Broncos added Ohio State defensive lineman Dre’Mont Jones (No. 71).

Emphasizing offense was Elway’s acknowledgment that the last three years have been unacceptable. The Broncos have finished 22nd, 27th and 24th in scoring. They have been bad and boring, a lethal combination.

Sitting at No. 52, Elway wanted to get ahead of Miami at No. 48 to draft Lock. As soon as the Risner card was turned in, the Broncos were back on the clock.

“They were both players we wanted and targeted,” Elway said. “We were thrilled they were still there and it worked out.”

Elway said Lock was the highest-rated quarterback on the Broncos’ draft board.

“We look at it as a Brett Favre/Aaron Rodgers-type situation (in Green Bay),” Elway said. “Drew will have time to sit and watch Joe and take his time and learn and continue to get better. We feel we’re in a good situation.”

Lock was the fourth quarterback selected and much later than anticipated.

“If for some reason I need any extra motivation, I definitely got it,” Lock said.

Lock started 46 games at Missouri, throwing 99 touchdowns and 39 interceptions.

“Smart, accurate, competitive,” an AFC offensive assistant told The Denver Post. “If we needed a quarterback, he would have been my second choice behind (Kyler) Murray.”

Murray went first overall to Arizona.

What does Lock’s arrival mean for Flacco? Initially, nothing.

“The bottom line is, (Lock is) coming here to compete as the back-up,” Elway said. “Joe’s the starter and is going to be the starter. We’re hoping Drew’s the future.”

Elway has used the veteran quarterback/Round 2 quarterback plan before. In 2012, the Broncos signed Peyton Manning entering his age-36 season and drafted Osweiler. Manning worked out. Osweiler was allowed to walk in free agency after his rookie deal expired, helping kick-start the ongoing game of musical chairs.

“I was a starter for four years (at Missouri) and I learned what a good backup was and what it took to push me and what it took to help me in the film room to where if I needed to be that guy (in the NFL), then by all means (I can do it),” Lock said.

Before taking Lock, the Broncos added Risner, recognizing the run on offensive lineman and needing to pounce. Seven linemen went in the first 23 picks of the second round.

Risner played one year at center and three seasons at right tackle for Kansas State but will be worked at guard by the Broncos.

“I’m most definitely ready to go inside,” Risner said. “With my size (6-foot-5 and 312 pounds) and the type of player I am, playing good guard is a good position for me.”

Switching positions while also transitioning to the NFL game is a big ask even for a player like Risner, whose football intelligence is highly regarded. The Broncos will take some of the pressure off by working him at right guard, leaving Connor McGovern to play center.

“With (Risner’s) versatility, he can play tackle (and) we think he can make a really good guard, also,” Elway said.

Said Risner, who will be schooled by Hall of Fame guard/new Broncos offensive line coach Mike Munchak: “I think it’s going to work out really good.”

More work remains Saturday. The Lock trade cost the Broncos their picks in the fourth- and sixth-rounds, leaving them selections in the fifth (Nos. 148 and 156) and seventh (No. 237). They could attempt to find a linebacker who may not be an every-down candidate but can cover tight ends or add a nose tackle to potentially backup Shelby Harris.

The only reason Brittany Bowlen is being groomed to take over ownership of the Broncos is because she will keep the gravy train going for the current cast of trustees. Beth Bowlen would kick all these clowns out.
